" hat is MEDICAL Inhalation? Before
stating briefly what Medical inhalation
Is, we propose, in as few words as possible,
to state clearly what 1t Is not. :,
Medical Inhalation is not cure-all.
nostrum, or panacea. 1t Is not specific
remedy for any disease. 1t Is not quack
medicine, or advertised to cure any or all
the ills that flesh is heir to, an intended to
fill the pockets of It's proprietors II Is no
a talisman, whose possession insures health
to its possessor without the lntervehtion OF
sense or Judgment. Medical Inhalation Is
none of these things.
Medical IuhalatlOn is simply and solely
method of taking medicines by inhaling or
breathing them into the lungs insteao OF
swallowing them into the stomach. BY In
h halation, the proper medicines are applied
directly to the seat of the disease, In the
nose. throat or lungs; and 1t is clear to
every reasoning person how peculiarly ap..
plicable Inha alton is in the disorders OF
the organs named. If you have scalded or
burned the surface OF the body, or wounded
the remedy intended to heal the disor-
ganized tissue. On the contrary, you apply

gaseous or vapOrOus form, In which form,
AS is well known medicines act most power

inhaled or breathed, than many times the

/ he same is true of chlorine, OF iodine. and
of many other substances BY lnhalation
the medicine is not poured into the stomach
and thence sent wandering through the
system in search of a malady which may be
mainly or entirely local one; but by this
method the proper remedy is applied ol-
rectly to the diseased organ. Who, after
studyil & the anotomy of the lungs can
doubt that Inflammation and liberation OF
the air-tubes and air-cells, the direct appI'
cation of the healing medicine by 1nhala,
ton to the diseased p .rts, is the correct and
rational method of treatment? VINO. on
the other hand, can be SO irrational as to
believe that the proper and direct way 10
reach the diseased surfaces OF the .ir-
passages in this case, is by the way OF the
stomach? histology teaches us that the
membrane, or skin, lining the air-passages
of the nose, throat and lungs, Is only
slightly modified form OF the same structure
as that which covers the external surface
of the body. Why, then, should local treat
ment be proper and necessary for 1nfiam
nations, concessions and alterations Of the
one and not be equally so in the case OF the
other?
Our experience and success in treating
diseases OF the nose. throat and lungs. de-
monstrates, beyond all question, tnat tne
true scientific treatment OF these diseases Is
